Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Cant IPO, cant AGI, cant ROI, poor openAI just the worst luck.

I dunno, look at Teslas sick value, it had no basis in reality. It could easily become a meme stock. Our financial system is ridiculous

Sure, but they got to IPO for that.

I think you underestimate the system's ability to nurture grifts.

Especually when for an early investor, IPO is passing the bag for something like AI. If they had a profitabke priduct, there is no need to do an IPO. IPOs are a way toncash out, for these tech comoanies, not a way to raise funds.
